May you be comforted by your Father and Mother’s strong faith in their beliefs that they passionately shared and taught to others. Distance can keep us apart but love keeps us together. When I think of your Dad one of the things that I always remember is when I was about 5 or 6 I walked into our Grandparents home and heard someone talking in a back room. So as I looked into the room, you thur Mom was in the bed. I assumed that she was sick. Your Dad was sitting in a chair next to her holding her hand a talking to her. That image of your Dad softly talking to her left a lasting impression of a man demonstrating his feelings for someone that he cared for.
He was speaking to her in a way that a man speaks to the love of his life. That proved to be true and he stuck with his wife.
Your Brother, your cousin, Butch.
My deepest condolences to the Coleman family. May Jehovah comfort you all until you can welcome your dear father again. Sending love, hugs and deepest prayers to you all.

Dearest brother, you were the stable although you were out of state, you were always advocating for Zoom discussions and and organization. As Financial POA, you did an amazing jobs you inherited your accounting & organizational skills from dad.
You also made numerous trips to Milwaukee to check on dad, personally. Thank you for your leadership and loving concern for your three sisters when our daily lives changed for a decade plus from ‘living our best lives’ to prioritizing care for dad with our own illnesses & those of our family, even currently you and us all have health issues but Jehovah saw our efforts as well as his neighbors, physicians, relatives and close friends as have been mentioned in various comments were moved by our efforts and priority of our dad which was to selflessly carry him through his challenging years with prayer & supplication to Jehovah for his spirit and strength .
Love you too, brother.! ❤️
To everyone who has added a comment, and to everyone that will sign the Guestbook after this entry, thank you so much for comments on behalf of my Dad and my family. We appreciate it so much.
To my Sisters: Thank you so much for what ALL of you did out of, love for our Father. Out of the decade plus years that he returned to Milwaukee, no one sibling took him to every doctor’s appointment, paid his bills and handle his budget, cleaned his house, feed him, helped him in Service, regularly attended the meetings with him, paid his taxes, worked with the facilities for his care, and supported him in so many ways that are more than can be mentioned. Jehovah will reward the three of you for your efforts to “honor your Father”. I love all three of you. Your Little Brother.
Dear Dad, You were the blueprint of masculine energy, standing with backbone and providing guidance, based on Jehovah’s word to family and friends alike. Your manifestations of courage and integrity has created an example for future generations to reference and imitate.
You will be remembered by me as a man of responsibility who prioritized being prayerful a protector , present and a provider. Always taking the lead in serving others, rather than shrinking in the posture to be served.
Jehovah will never forget your works. He rews 6 vs 10
Your legacy will endure, granting me the strength to face challenges with resilience, faith, and firmness.
Your 1st born

To the George Coleman Family,
We are sure you have, as we also, have many pleasant memories of both Brother and Sister Coleman. Although memories will not altogether take away the pain of your loss, it can lift our spirits as we focus not only on the good times we shared, but also on our hope in the resurrection. We are so, so sorry for your loss. Mankind’s greatest enemy ‘death’ is used by Satan as he continues in his attempt to keep us off balance. But we know with Jehovah’s help, let us never allow Satan to succeed in causing us to lose our hope of being reunited with our loved ones. Our dear fellow servant George possessed many of the fine qualities Jehovah is looking for in those he wants to be citizens in his Kingdom. We hope that we will be blessed to share with your family the privilege of being reunited with your loved ones. Our prayers and love go out for your family. May Jehovah bless your efforts to be strong and to endure to the end. Just remember, if you hurt, you know Jehovah hurts even more so. (Gen 6:6 footnote) Continue putting up the fine fight for the faith. We are confident that Jehovah will do the right thing.
Much love to all the family,
Pat and Odell Brown
Thank you for such encouraging words.
Your memories of my dad are probably more in death then I know. It’s very obvious that you had a deep love for him and the two of you could have served together but regardless, there is an obvious brotherhood, compassion and love. Thank you so very much for your condolences
Thank you for your acknowledgment of my trying to fulfill my spiritual obligations towards my dad. And most importantly Jehovah saw my sacrifices as well.
Sincerely, thank you. Thank you both. You have been such a strong pillar of support
Our dear Sylvia and family, we offer our deepest condolences over the death of your dad.
You were ways there for him to the very end and he knew you were. May he sleep peacefully in Jehovahs bosom until all things are created new! Isaiah 65:17.
Love you all
Jerry and Betty Gainer
You are such a good example to me Betty as an advocate for your mom and you were a great mentor.
Although I meet Bro.Coleman later in his life, we could tell what a loving man he was by knowing his daughter Sis.Sylvia. We are looking forward to getting to him know so much more in new system.
Love The Faleye Family
Yes, I am looking forward to knowing him even better myself in perfect health! Thank you.
My dad was a man of courage. He provided for and protected his family during favorable and difficult times.
He was very giving and sensitive. Many young brothers in the Christian congregation recall how my dad, George Coleman Jr., encouraged them during their youth and they are now serving as pillars in the Christian congregation of Jehovah’s witnesses.
He claimed the word ‘Baby’ to be his on as that’s how he resonated with people when he would share personal and spiritual insight from his heart
Dad fought demential for 10 years after the death of mom and was truly supported by his four children & his grandchildren.
It was a consistent challenge with dementia and diminishing abilities that ‘stabbed my heart’ but I fought beside my dad to be just as protective & concerned as he was of me during his challenging time of life, whether he realized it or not. I could never repay him but I advocated to the total best of my ability to be sure he received the absolute best care while in the facility as well as hospice care. It was my determination and commitment to be there till he took his last breath sleeping on a cot for 6 days not wanting him to pass alone and was able to spend time comforting him by rubbing his head and letting him know everyone would be okay and it was acceptable for him to rest while sharing scriptures & Kingdom Melodies about the coming Paradise and the resurrection Jesus provides ( John 5:28,29 ) which he strongly believed in and taught me as a child. As his POA, it was an honor to be allowed to assist in placing and zipping him in his bag before being transferred out of the hospice care to ensure he received the upmost deserving, genuine, respectable service to the end of his course as he was ‘MY Dad’ and I feel genuinely at peace because I put my life on hold to improve his quality of life during HIS challenging times and now it brings me solace and hopefully approval by Jehovah.
I truly think everyone for their thoughts, prayers, cards calls, conversations & various forms of messaging and more because you demonstrated that you were not only thinking of my dad and our family but you’ve reached out and demonstrated your condolences which means so much to us. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated by the entire Coleman Family .
Sylvia
You did an amazing job! Jehovah is well pleased with you! May jehovah continue to bless and comfort you and your family! Love you very much from becky and pat!
Sylvia, Jehovah truly blessed you for taking care of your dad. I loved my uncle. He was a very caring and loving person. I am so pleased that I was able to see and talk to him before passing. He affectionately nicked named me “Donnie” instead of calling me Ladon. I will truly miss him and hope to see him in the coming new world. Love to you and your siblings. Your cousin, Ladon (Donnie).
Yes, Donnie! I know you loved your uncle like a dad as you were a daughter to him as well and your brother a son. The family reunion will totally be a great joy!
Thank you for the love and compassion of my dad. You guys have truly been a very strong source of support and thank you for listening as you walked with me through my course of caregiving and I totally respected that liar you guys efforts towards your parent as well
Sylvia, Jenny, Clarence III & Sabrina,
Growing up in the congregation with your family felt like family. My memories of your dad, I would see him in action doing his city job. He was a hard working man that took care of his family. The same way he took care of his family showed he was responsible for taking care of Jehovah’s sheep. He was always there at the meetings, always handling his assignments. He always had a big smile and would make us laugh. He was loving and caring. Yes we were all his “Babies.” (Robert grew up in your neighborhood. He said, your dad was like a father to the young men in the neighborhood. Giving them good advice and direction.) There’s very few men today that possess such qualities. He’s a legacy and example for all men to follow. We know about the resurrection hope but death still hurts. It’s comforting to know he’s sleeping now and we will see him and all our loved ones again, it will be a “better resurrection!” – Heb.11:35. I hope the cherished memories bring you comfort and Jehovah strengthens your family during this difficult time.
Warm Christian Love,
Robert & Darlean Blackshire Sr.
We sincerely appreciate your words
Actions like this will carry us far during our dark periods of grief
Thank you so much for your cherished memories of my dad and it resonates with me as well. I’m learning so much more about my dad through the loving memories you’re sharing.
